ErgoExpo 2016 – What is the Darcor Team Looking Forward to?

The 2016 National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo is right around the corner. The ErgoExpo is being held at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. As much as the Darcor team is looking forward to the bright lights and excitement of Vegas, we are even more excited about the speakers and sessions scheduled at the ErgoExpo this year.

Since 1994, The National Ergonomics Conference & ErgoExpo is one of the leading conferences which focuses on best practices to build an ergonomics program or improve an existing program – all of this with productivity and cost-effectiveness in mind.

As those in the industry know, the awareness of ergonomics benefits for organizations continues to grow. There have been many studies and medical papers written that support the need to focus on ergonomics as a strategy towards workplace injury prevention and reducing workplace related fatigue. Darcor has contributed to these papers by developing The Guide to Workplace Ergonomics which covers a variety of areas to ensure employee health and safety, with specific focus on overexertion injuries that occur in the workplace.

So, what looks new and exciting at the 2016 ErgoExpo? Here are a few things the Darcor team has identified as “don’t miss” this year:

Advanced Data Collection and Wearable Technology (WS3)– Rachel Michael, CPE, CHSP, Ergonomic Thought Leadership, Aon Risk Solutions. Technology is changing the landscape of the world and we cannot forget that workplace ergonomics can also take advantage of technology. Michael will discuss how data can be collected through wearable technology and used to make future design decisions.
